CHARLES STEWART MEMORIAL CUP
EVENT DAY INFORMATION
Saturday 24th August 2024
In Memory of Charles Stewart
Tomorrow we pay tribute to our good friend to ocean paddling, Charles Stewart.
Charles passed away in January 2016 from a heart attack after finishing an ocean paddling session. Charles was instrumental in bringing sports like ours to the public through TV productions via The Wide World of Sports where he worked in the early days, through to coverage of trips like Ningaloo Dreaming and Hamilton Island.
Thank you for joining us for Charles’ memorial paddle tomorrow.
Thank you for entering the Charles Stewart Memorial Cup “The Chucky ” that will take place tomorrow Saturday 24th August. An event of the Shaw and Partners Australian Ocean Racing Series.
Conditions look favourable with perfect “almost” Spring weather and a building breeze which should make for an awesome downwind leg. There should be plenty of action in both long and short course races.
